storm ragged in the forenoon, about six inches
falling, and gale followed. The immense

state that their trains are snow bound, the
former at Phillips and the latter at Strong.

to bear the cost, and had not appeared with
the other towns. Colonel John p. Perley,
and other prominent citizens of Bridgton
had united in approving Portland's position.
Mr.. Drummond followed Mr.. Cleaves,
showing very clearly that the support of
the land damages for that way which would
not amount to over $6.65O should be paid by
the county because the way was a public
convenience. 1t was fallacy that landing
could not be public convenience because
all the towns in the county could not use it.
1t might be public convenience for which
the whole county should pay and yet be
wholly within the town. Portland has al
ways acted on this principle where roads
were to be laid out in remote towns of the
county, and paid her great share Of the dam
ages.

ing today, the judiciary committee shall
make any report comforting to the fourteen
towns.

The developments of the past two days
show that the Heath ten-hour bill has gained
much stronger support. Its advocates forced
the advocates of the Looney bill to consider
the two bills Saturday morning. The House
leaders did all in their power to put the mat
ter over to next Tuesday. 1t is predicted
that the defeat of the Looney bill is certain.
Success on the part of the supporters Of the
Heath bill means victory for the Knights
of Labor.
The developments in the tuberculosis in
vestigation proved that Gilbert assumed the
responsibility. His own evidence is very
damaging to himself, and will lead to his

young man from Maine to play cards, and
won the money with which he was going
home to his dying mother. An observant
passenger took ntoe of the transaction and
told the young man he had been feeced.
This created rumpus with the sharpers.
